Biography
Hillel Teittleman was the son of Shlomo Teittleman, and he was raised in a Hasidic Jewish family. Hillel and his father jointly owned the business, while Hillel's brother-in-law Ariel worked there for his whole life. In 1999, Hillel's abused sister sought a divorce from Ariel, who demanded 50% of the motel in exchange for accepting. Shlomo and Hillel Teittleman met with the DiMeo crime family capo Tony Soprano, who agreed to help them. Hillel Teittleman had serious reservations about working with the Mafia, as he knew that they would insist on owning 25% of the motel, and that they were bad business partners. Hillel's words proved prophetic, as the Mafia roughed his father up when he attempted to pay the DiMeos off with cash instead of giving them a share of the motel. Hillel would be forced to co-own the business with the mobsters, who used the motel for prostitution and the high-stakes ("executive") poker game. In 2006, Teittleman would help Benny Fazio with his credit card number scheme.
